Aspirations outside of golf include being "involved with local charities that help provide better access to quality education and nutritious meals for children in need." He also "would also like to start after school golf programs for junior golfers with limited access to the sport."
He aspires to have a reality TV show about golf, and describes his idea as such. "I [would] take the audience on a tour of some of the most remote and unseen parts of the world, interacting with other cultures and discovering what golf means to those cultures."
Non golf-related jobs include being a co-founder of Media Brats Marketing. He explains that it's "a digital marketing boutique, [founded] in 2009." He has also "worked as a producer for Radio Rounds, a medical podcast hosted by Med students and Doctors since 2012."
Met his wife, Sarah on the golf course. "I met my now wife Sarah, on the golf course while playing on the Canadian Tour in 2010. In 2016, we returned to the same golf course where we met and I proposed during a round at sunset with her family looking on. It's the best thing golf has ever brought me."
In describing his earliest golf memory, he states, "When I was a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame, I lost to that year's US Mid-Am Champ in the semi-finals of the New Hampshire Am Championship. That season, Notre Dame was invited to play Augusta State's college golf tournament and it included a day at The Masters. I was able to walk with and watch the Mid-Am champ I had competed against on Augusta National. I knew then playing professional golf was going to be the pursuit that brought me the most joy."
Superstitions on the course include the belief that, "If you play too slowly you won't play well."
Not many people know he is an enthusiastic guitar player, singer and writer.
A charitable cause that is close to his heart is helping to battle hunger, a value instilled in him by his father. He helps local charities reach people who lack food security.
Has tutored children battling serious illness who have fallen behind in school. Of one of his pupils, he states, " She was amazingly strong and brave despite having her childhood and life nearly taken from her. I feel really blessed to have met her and been a brief part of her life and hopefully, recovery."
He occasionally dreams in Mandarin Chinese.
His golf hero is Bill Murray.
